Which one is it? It is the org-mode buffer. We would have something like this: (Sorted by dates only:) ,---- | * item 1 | SCHEDULED: <2006-11-20 lun> | | * item 2 | DEADLINE: <2006-11-21 lun> | | * item 3 | SCHEDULED: <2006-11-22 lun> | | * item 4 | DEADLINE: <2006-11-23 lun> `---- (Sorted by dates and [implicit?] priority - i.e. DEADLINE first, SCHEDULED second:) ,---- | * item 2 | DEADLINE: <2006-11-21 lun> | | * item 4 | DEADLINE: <2006-11-23 lun> | | * item 1 | SCHEDULED: <2006-11-20 lun> | | * item 3 | SCHEDULED: <2006-11-22 lun> `---- I guess you will find some neat way to chose between the row chronological order and the mixed chronological/priority order.
